Questo è il seguito de Il Soldato Nella Nebbia . La storia, di ampio respiro, si svolge nell'antica Grecia ed ha come protagonista Latro, un mercenario che ogni mattina perde il ricordo di ciò che ha fatto il giorno precedente, ma che per contro ha la singolare capacità di poter vedere e parlare con tutta una serie di esseri mitici e fantastici quali Dei, Dee, Lupi Mannari, Demoni, Vampiri, Lamie, eccetera.
Il Soldato dell'Arete' inizia là dove era finito il precedente volume del Ciclo, , e Latro, riunitosi alla sua giovane schiava lo, viene da questa condotto in Tessaglia per sfuggire a Pasicrate, il Comandante degli Spartani, che lo vuole uccidere.

Gene Wolfe ha scritto anche un terzo volume su Latro, “Soldier of Sidon” (rimasto purtroppo inedito in Italia).

In cambio di questa particolare situazione che è costretto a vivere — e che gli deriva da un castigo inflittogli da una Dea — Latro ha ottenuto la capacità di poter parlare e vedere esseri invisibili come sono Dei e Dee, spettri, demoni e lupi mannari che si aggirano per la Terra. In effetti tutti sono consapevoli della presenza intorno a loro di queste creature soprannaturali e, in circostanze assolutamente particolari, sono anche in grado di vederle, ma Latro è in grado di vederle e sentirle in ogni momento, fatto questo che costituisce per lui allo stesso tempo un vantaggio ed un pericolo.… (altro)
